      Arguably that is what is, though. I think people are stretching the owner part too far. It's not illegal to have a relationship with your boss. Some companies ask you declare it (There are issues of both nepotism and a power dynamic at play, that can be agreed on.) But ultimately if they do not feel pressured or the like, then it is not an issue.
      The core issue is people not wanting to work with someone who cheats on their wife, and it is wrapped with the company's brand. That harms the whole brand.
      If he wasn't married or in a relationship, it wouldn't have been a big deal.
      If he cheated with someone outside of the company, it wouldn't have been a big deal, but it would be a bigger deal than the first case
      Both combined have made it explode, perhaps a bit out of proportion in my opinion.

    I love that SNL is essentially mocking a group of men for taking sexual misconduct at work seriously and actually firing someone for it. It started off funny but it really went downhill when it became apparent what a toxic take they had on the whole thing. SNL really missed the mark on this one and should be embarrassed to have posted it on TH-cam.

    Ned was not fired because he “kissed someone”. He was fired because as a co-founder of the company, he was sleeping with one of his subordinates and not disclosing it to HR. This opened up the remaining Try Guys to potential lawsuits. They didn’t overreact, instead taking weeks to do a thorough internal review before making any of it public. The Try Guys’ response is a great example of a stand up company.

    It is admirable that they actually hold one of their dear friends accountable, and that they did so without bashing him and without siding with him either.

      Bro, chill. There was no sexual abuse. Kevin Spacey has not been on SNL since his controversy. This is not MeToo, this is a boss having a workplace relationship with an employee. No doubt there's a power imbalance but workplace relationships are discouraged to avoid *potential* coercion, not because it's legally considered sexual harassment.
      People cheat, it's part of real life. They'll get over it, people will move on with their lives. In a week, nobody will be talking about this. SNL just wanted to get a quick joke in while the iron was hot.

      @irrelevant3288 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@HerrDurkslag the point I was trying to make is that the Try Guys are a representation of what it looks like to rightfully hold someone accountable in the entertainment industry. As soon as they found out, they did what was right, before it became a scandal. What Kevin Spacey was doing was allegedly an open secret in Hollywood, and it’s not like he’s the only sex offender/ abuser that’s been given a platform in that space. Ned seemingly had one inappropriate affair with a subordinate and the Try Guys booted him. How many people did famous abusers like Chris Brown, R Kelly, allegedly Horatio Sanz, and so on have to do much worse to before Hollywood took a stand? I’m not comparing Ned to those men, but I’m speaking on the blatant hypocrisy of it all. The reason why people are angry is because this has become a larger issue than just some guy cheating on his wife. Firstly, if someone hurt your favourite creators you might be reactive and protective too. People also know his wife and family from their content together and empathise with them. Secondly, yes unfortunately these things happen, but Ned is a public figure who built his brand on being a non problematic family man, and it’s understandable that the audience he accumulated through that lens feel lied to. Thirdly, and the reason why I commented, is we know that the industry tends to favour protecting people that do less than favourable things in positions of power over holding them accountable, so we‘ve been asking for better. Now that we finally see people in the industry do better, we don’t need SNL coming along trying to ridicule them for it.

The California Supreme Court has recognized a claim of sexual harassment brought by two women because they had been offended that other women received preferential treatment through sexual cooperation with their boss. The Supreme Court noted that an isolated incident of favoritism on the part of a supervisor toward the employee with whom the supervisor had a consensual relationship ordinarily would not constitute sexual harassment, but when “sexual favoritism in the workplace is sufficiently widespread it may create an actionable hostile work environment in which the demeaning message is conveyed.””

    SNL completely misunderstood why they had to remove Ned from the company. There are a lot of legal problems that they had to face throughout the whole ordeal. For one, Ned was a co-head of the company dating an employee which can cause a lot of legal issues in the future if they didn't react quickly and accordingly. So many problems can arise from a relationship between a boss and an employee and it is very easy for things to get out of hand when things take a bad turn in those relationships. Keeping Ned in the company with everything going on between him and Alex puts the entire company at risk, not just him. If say there is a really bad break up between Ned and Alex and Ned is still a boss at Second Try LLC when it happens, not only can it affect the flow at work for everyone as a boss and producer are having personally issues brought into the workplace, but there is always the possibility of these problems leading to legal actions being taken against the company for allowing the boss and employee relationship to continue. This is why most companies have a policy that states that upper management is in no way allowed to have a romantic relationship with someone who works beneath them as an employee of the company. A lot of people think this is unfair to basically say "You can't date this person even if you really like each other because you work together" but it is in the best interests of every person involved including the company itself because there's just no telling how these relationships will play out and how it will affect the company or whether or not it will end with any sort of legal action taken against the boss individual and/or the company itself.

    He cheated on his wife (who he had kids with), with an employee (he was her boss). His entire personality was talking about how much he loved his wife, and his kids. But he cheated on her many many times.
    The Try Guys were not only hurt by the fact that their best friend would do that. They were hurt as a brand and company. If one of the owners of a company manages to abuse his power (it's pretty obvious that an affair with a subordinate breaches the code of conduct), it then places the other owners under fire. It questions their HR, and the integrity of their brand. It put their personalities (since Ned obviously showed everybody how much he lied to the screen) on the chopping block too.
    He basically fucked them over, didn't warn them at all, and when it all came out- he didn't even try to help his stressed-out friends by making a decent statement about the situation.
    So no, it's not just 'besties' upset that their buddy kissed a girl without telling them.
    It's business partners severing ties with an owner who put their entire companies' ethics into question.
    It's friends who are heartbroken for his wife (who feels betrayed and I'm assuming is divorcing him), and upset for his children- whose lives will be changed indefinitely by Ned's stupid decisions.

Imagine how painful that would be for Ned and their mutual friends. Imagine the Internet and their fanbase finding out Ned got cheated on because his wife was making out with her boy toy at a concert in public and a fan saw. Can you imagine how sad and embarrassed Ned would be and how men AND women from far and wide would rally behind him and call for that cheating “bitch’s” head?
      Ok good, now you get it. Unfortunate that you only have empathy for wronged men but good that you sort of kind of understand now. I doubt that this sketch would even exist if the story were that this was the trio’s angry/sad/disappointed response to their fanbase learning that their wholesome 4th try guy had been cheated on by his wife.

    If I worked for SNL HR, this skit would worry the hell out of me. We’re just going to completely gloss over the power imbalance between Ned and his employee and reduce a several month long affair to a “consensual kiss.” We all know Ned has friends on the writing staff and this only proves that people in positions of power and influence will not hold each other accountable for their actions and attempt to make those holding one of their own accountable into a joke.

      Yep, Ned's buddy from his days at Yale, who also happens to be a writer at SNL, conveniently "forgot" to mention those parts. Also forgot to mention how it wasn't just a "kiss at a Harry Styles concert", but was instead a year-long affair. An affair that resulted in him cheating on his wife Ariel, the mother of his two little boys, and whom he REPEATEDLY gushed about in his videos, thus basically making his wholesome wife-guy persona his bread and butter. And they also left out the part that the affair was one of an uneven balance of power at the workplace, where he was the boss and she was the employee.
